This is a single-arm, open-label study, which will examine the effect of dupilumab on quality
of life in atopic dermatitis patients.

This is a single center, open-label study, which will examine the effect of dupilumab on
quality of life in atopic dermatitis (AD). Thirty patients with moderate to severe AD will
receive dupilumab for a treatment period of 52 weeks (i.e. last injection on week 48).
Improvement in patient quality of life after 52 weeks of treatment with dupilumab will be
evaluated using validated dermatologic and non-dermatologic psychometric instruments. The
primary endpoint is the improvement in quality of life measured by change in Psychological
General Well-Being scale (PGWB) at Week 16 from baseline. Additionally, patients will be
given a video recording device to document their experience with the study drug at home.
Video footage of patient experiences will be compiled at the end of the study. The compiled
video footage will subsequently be watched and analyzed to further understand the experiences
of atopic dermatitis patients, and how undergoing dupilumab treatment alters these patients'
experiences and attitudes with their skin disease.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Ability to provide written informed consent and comply with the protocol

- At least 18 years of age

- Diagnosis of atopic dermatitis at least 6 months prior to enrollment, having stable
(unchanged) disease for at least 2 months

- Non-immune-compromised status

- Subjects have moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, classified as Eczema Area and
Severity Index (EASI) score greater than or equal to 6

- Subject is considered a candidate for phototherapy or systemic therapy

- Subjects of child-bearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test within 7
days prior to first dose of dupilumab

- Sexually active subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use medically
acceptable form of contraception during screening and throughout the study

- Subject meets concomitant medication requirements (see below)

Exclusion Criteria:

- Younger than 18 years of age

- Has mild atopic dermatitis, classified as EASI score less than 6

- History of known or suspected intolerance to any of the ingredients of the
investigational study product

- Evidence of skin conditions other than atopic dermatitis that would interfere with
study-related evaluations of atopic dermatitis.

- History of immune-compromised status [e.g. human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive
status or other immune suppressing drug] or a congenital or acquired immunodeficiency
or subject testing positive for HIV during screening procedures

- Has a poorly controlled medical condition including, but not limited to, unstable
cardiovascular disease, poorly controlled diabetes, recent stroke, history of
recurrent infections, or any other condition for which, in the opinion of the
investigator, participation in the study would place the subject at risk

- Has a history of or ongoing drug or alcohol abuse

- Is not willing to comply with concomitant medication requirements

- Is known, or suspected of being unable to comply with the study protocol

- Subjects who are well controlled on current treatment for atopic dermatitis and
participation in the study may worsen disease control significantly
